totoo.. everything's uncertain pero you're on track nman. sakin medyo challenging kasi long distance. Im just checking on her, like video call every night.Wala nman sure thing lalo na pagdating sa parenting.. basta ready lang for anything
Why long distance? Though okay nman ung technology natin now para may communication pa din eh mahirap pa din ung totally di kasama..
I was like that din dati.. lalo na at lalaki ako eh alam ko kung pano magisip ang mga lalaki towards girls… aside sa pag protect sa knila i try to make them understand that they are responsible for their own bodies… pag dumating sa point na ganon na children ko ill make sure na alam nila kung pano gawin ung mga bagay na un ng safe and responsible…
both naman meron pro's and con's. pero iisa lang nman goal which is for them to be safe, and at the same time learn na din. hindi habangbuhay na nandito tayo para magbantay kaya mas mainam na ieducate sila about consequences lalo na at an early age.
jayendecastro sir, how is it like being an atheist?
What do u mean how? San aspect inaask mo specifically??
self realization mo ba yan or was it just intoduced to you by others?
Ahh u meant how did i become an atheist… mahabang proseso eh… its more on realizing the things that i used to believe in does not make sense… started off sa naging skeptic ako about my belief then upon learning more and more i started losing belief in it… yan basically in a nutshell
some say kasi na religious beliefs directs us to be good and to do good. well, maybe it does. or it doesnt. nasa tao pa din naman kahit na ano paniniwala nya. parang may stigma kasi atheism lalo na sa mga christian countries.
Absolutely. Yan din ung pinaparamdam ko sa kanya tho malaking challenge pagiging parent lalo na pag ldr.
Some do say that i have to disagree… kung ang religious belief eh nagdidikta sayo to be homophobic for example eh for me thAts a bad thing… yes may stigma nga pagdating sa atheism.. just as may stigma kung ang religion na kinabibilangan mo is not the prevailing religion dun sa lugar kung nasan ka…
Exactly. Sa deeds or character pa din talaga dapat magbase hindi sa kung ano paniniwala or sa kung anong sect kinabibilangan. Going back to being an atheist, Have you ever been ridiculed or humiliated by being one?
Me, personally, eh no nman so far.. and im not the type na proclaiming evrywhere and all the time that “hey im an atheist”… pag lang pumupunta dun sa ganon ung usapan.. and most of the time eh civil conversation lang especially sa mga tao na kakilala ko… pag sa mga platform na open for public eh dun minsan nagiging heated ung usapan….and thats because people tend to look at what u say u are and not on the things that you are actuallu trying to say…
in the end, its all about a matter of perspective and respect. posibleng ung mga ideals or beliefs nila e naaayon sa kung ano sitwasyon meron sila, What concerns me tho, is ung pagpilit nila sa mga tao na sumali for the sake of what they call 'salvation'.. bestseller to e. ahaha
Yah… i agree with that… ung bata pa lang sinasabi mo na sila eh sinners na kailangan ng salvation.. tapos susundan na fear of punishment or death pag di sila sumunod… kahit sinong bata kung papalibutan mo ng ganang thoughts eh sasangayon na lang din dahil naunang ituro ung fear….
Yep, historically, it was spread thru fear talaga. Malaki dn naging influence nila sa mga giyera na nangyari before and even til now. Going back to parenting, kaya mas ok na iguide ng maayos tsaka hayaan mga bata na mamili kung ano gusto nila paniwalaan.
Yup.. its their choice kung watever they wanna believe in… as parents we dont need to enforce kung ano ang paniniwala or in my case di natin pinapaniwalaan… we can talked about them sa mga kids naten pero sa dulo eh its up to them… my wife believes in god pero not in any religion, im an atheist pero never naging part ng discipline namen sa kids ang mga views namen…its more on consequences or effects of their action ang pinapaintindi namen and ano impact non sa sarili nila at sa mga tao sa paligid nila…
